This small motor pulls cold air off the evaporator coil and pushes it through the duct system to both the freezer and fresh food compartments. Without it circulating air, the coil itself keeps getting cold, but that cold air never reaches your food — the freezer, being closest to the coil, may hold up reasonably well for a while, but the fresh food compartment depends entirely on ducted airflow and drifts warmer and warmer as circulation weakens or stops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis motor ships complete with its wiring harness, so nothing needs to be spliced or transferred from the old unit. Common failure modes include worn motor bearings that let the blade wobble or bind, ice buildup on the coil that jams the blade, and electrical failure of the motor windings. A simple way to check before ordering: with the refrigerator unplugged, try turning the fan blade by hand — it should spin freely with no grinding or resistance. It directly replaces WP2315549, 2220569, 1193008, AP6007250, PS11740362, and EAP11740362.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-qa\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-qa-label\"\u003eQuick Answer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eXPARTCO 2315549 Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor\u003c\/strong\u003e fixes Whirlpool-built side-by-side refrigerators with uneven cooling between compartments, frost buildup on the evaporator coil, unusual humming or buzzing noise, or a fresh food section that runs warmer than the freezer.

Wear work gloves. Access is through the freezer's rear interior panel: remove the shelving and bins as needed, then remove the screws securing the back panel and set it aside to expose the evaporator coil and fan assembly. If you see significant frost or ice buildup around the fan or coil, let the unit sit unplugged with the door open for a few hours, or run a manual defrost, before continuing — ice can be masking the actual failure and can make the old motor difficult to remove cleanly. Photograph the wiring harness connector and the fan blade's orientation before disconnecting anything. Unplug the motor's wiring harness connector, remove the mounting screws or clips holding the motor bracket in place, and carefully pull the motor and fan blade assembly free — on many models the blade is a separate piece that pulls off the motor shaft. Transfer the fan blade to the new motor if a blade isn't included, matching the original orientation. Mount the new 2315549 in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness connector fully, and confirm the blade spins freely by hand without contacting the housing before reassembling the back panel. Restore power and monitor both compartments over the next 24 hours to confirm even cooling has returned.

This 2315549 motor carries production number ESF-U2A and replaces WP2315549, 2220569, and 1193008. Our separate 2315539 listing carries production number ESF-U2B and replaces a different set of numbers (2219689, 2225625, W10438708) for a different group of models. Because the numbers are so easy to mix up, we'd strongly recommend double-checking the exact number on your old motor, or your full refrigerator model number, before ordering either one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eMy freezer seems fine but the fresh food section is warm. Is this the fan motor?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-a\"\u003eYes, this is a very common and telling symptom pattern. The freezer compartment sits right next to the evaporator coil and can stay reasonably cold through simple proximity even with poor air circulation, but the fresh food compartment depends entirely on the fan pushing cold air through the ducting to reach it. When the fan motor fails or slows down, the fresh food side is usually the first and most noticeably affected area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eHow can I test the motor before ordering a replacement?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-a\"\u003eWith the refrigerator unplugged and the rear freezer panel removed, try turning the fan blade by hand. It should spin freely and smoothly with no grinding, binding, or resistance. If it doesn't turn freely, or doesn't turn at all, the motor has very likely failed. Also listen for humming or buzzing while the refrigerator is running — a motor trying and failing to turn often makes noise without actually moving air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eThere's a lot of frost around the fan and coil. Should I address that first?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-a\"\u003eIt's worth understanding which came first. Excess frost can be a cause of fan failure — a jammed, ice-bound blade can burn out the motor over time — or a result of it, since poor air circulation lets moisture condense and freeze unevenly around the coil area. Either way, thawing the ice out fully before installing the new motor makes the repair easier and lets you confirm the blade spins freely once everything is defrosted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eIs this an OEM or aftermarket part?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-a\"\u003eThis is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards.
